of course I know there is not enough info on these now, but how do you think they will handle these large blast blind fire weapons.

the blind fire for full scatter portion and possible multiple targets is my thoughts. as the chapter master can target a different unit I imagine orbital bombardment will be him firing said weapon, but would it make sense to use full BS as other things like the Manticore suddenly hit 50% while chapter master would hit 83% also without templates and scattering do you think these iconic weapons will just that a specific unit or will it possibly hit unit within x number of inches. or possibly x shots at x number of units/ divide among units within x inches.

I know we might not hit on the answer GW has but just curious what the community thinks will happen

personally I think they will use the BS of the model firing but will have a modifier if out of LOS. I also think they will wind up something like D3 units hit with 3+d3 shots or something equivalent.
